I grew up lower middle-class in Eagle Lake, Minnesota, a small town in Southwest Minnesota, population 763. I'm the oldest of four kids, my dad is a barber and I taught myself how to program the Apple ][+ when I was 14. I've been writing code and consulting since I was 16. I love smart, interesting, complex people with big ideas who want to change the world. If that sounds like you, we'll resonate.In June 2012, I was diagnosed with stage 3A cancer and went through major surgery, chemotherapy and 33 radiation treatments. I'm very, very grateful to be alive and started feeling "normal" recently after receiving a "clear" from my incredible doctors. I have a 12 year old son, Zak, and an incredible wife, Vivian Glyck, who does philanthropic work in Uganda and Senegal through the "Just Like My Child" foundation, a non-profit 501c3 organization that provides education, microfinance, microcredit, entrepreneurship, girls education and legal rights in Uganda and Senegal. My companies have raised over $2mm to support the foundation and a community of over 600,000 people.I'm a serial entrepreneur, founder and CEO of Instant Customer and Traffic Geyser. I will help you grow your business by simplifying and automating marketing and teaching you "new media" skills that help you market and sell better.My mission and vision is to create 1,000,000 entrepreneurs in both the developed and developing world. I'm an active philanthropist, have raised over $2.2mm for the "Just Like My Child" foundation, a non-profit 501c3 organization that provides education, microfinance, microcredit, entrepreneurship, girls education and legal rights in Uganda and Senegal. If you ask me "what do you do", I'd tell you: "If you have a message to share, want to get noticed, seen, found and displayed on any screen and in the pockets, computers, cars and televisions of your prospects and customers, automate your marketing, write books, create products that sell like crazy, add an additional stream of income and make money with your ideas, I can help you in your journey with my products and trainings."My Superpowers? I'm really good at five things, horrible at about five thousand, but here's the good stuff:++ Predictor of the Future: I have a 20+ year history of inventing products and services that bridge technology and marketing and solve complex business problems that are 2-4 years ahead of their time for over 20 years.++ 100 Days from Idea to Launch: Over the past decade, I've gone from "Idea to Back Account" by turning ideas into products, producing a launch and generating $1.2mm-$9.1mm in sales in under 100 days eleven times in a row.++ $1mm+ per Day Direct to Camera Sales: Imagine combining TED + PBS + HSN (Home Shopping Network) without the "yuck" - like an interactive, online infomercial. Are you old enough to remember the "Jerry Lewis Telethons"? I have a unique skillset of being able to present direct to camera and sell just about any product or service in an entertaining, educational format that produces a minimum of $100 to as high as $1272 per viewer for as long as 12 hours without any breaks.++ Results-based Teaching: Simplifying the Complex - I bridge the gap between tech, marketing and implementation. I was a classic ADHD, C- student who hated school, sat in the "dumb kid special classes", unable to sit still (or I just fell asleep - which I still do BTW). After barely passing high school, I learned that I am a kinesthetic learner, and had to teach myself how to think, learn and store information in unusual ways. As a result, I'm pretty intuitive and able to teach others using a variety of modalities to rapidly implement and get results. Over the past 20+ years, I've taught thousands of people how to write books, create products, make videos, online TV or radio shows and podcasts and start businesses in a few days to a few months.++ Extracting Genius Knowledge and Experience with Interviews: I love interesting, complex, somewhat crazy people with big ideas who want to change the world. In 30-60 minutes, I can generally "extract" just about anyone's core genius, specialized knowledge, their "why" and "how" they do what they do in an interview format and "re-teach" that information to a viewing or listening audience that's entertaining and engaging.Here's the bragging part: I've produced eleven consecutive multimillion dollar launches in a row, the largest grossing $9.1mm in a single week, presented in a $3.1mm in a single "direct to camera" livecast and over the past 5 months, generated $212.28-$1,273.54 per viewer in direct to camera video livecasts. Every iteration of the product cycle (invention, creation, offer, launch) occurred in 100 days or less for all eleven launches. The 12th is scheduled for October 18th 2014.I've written seven #1 bestselling books, produced a feature film distributed by Warner Brothers and a documentary, "Life With Tesla" about going all-solar and gasoline-free with an electric car. I've been driving a Tesla for four years. To me, entrepreneurship is all about freedom and independence, especially from big oil and big government.My vision and goal is to create 1,000,000 entrepreneurs in my lifetime. If you have a similar vision or goal or want to get your message out to the planet, change lives with passion and purpose, give me your card.You can visit me on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, YouTube and my personal web site.https://twitter.com/MikeKoenigshttps://www.facebook.com/koenigshttp://www.linkedin.com/in/mikekoenigshttps://plus.google.com/+MikeKoenigshttp://www.youtube.com/user/koenigsmikehttp://www.mikekoenigs.com
